- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

i know that i like singleplayer games, and i do enjoy them but most of the time i either just stop after a couple of minutes or never even start in the first place
i WANT to play them, but i just cant and i dont know what it is
maybe its that i watch youtube all day? or is it that my friends barely wanna hangout so the best thing i have is playing with them online?
Hmm I see. Well its hard to say. I can only say, that there was games in the past (single player Breath of the Wild and multiplayer Underlords) that wasn't fun to play at first. But I kept going for different reasons. Then it clicked with me and those became very beloved games by me. Maybe it is really just to play the games until they are fun.^^ If you really miss your friends and always have that in mind when playing without them, then I don't know what advice to give.
If you stop playing after a few minutes, maybe start playing games that are meant to play in short bursts of time... without friends. That would rule out story based AAA games, but you would play on your own and get used to it maybe. I'm thinking of games like Brotato in example.
i do like arcade ish style games more and im not that interested in games with massive stories
